The document discusses key elements of constructing scenes for film and theater productions: Mise-en-scene involves the visual design and storytelling through techniques like cinematography, stage design, and direction. Character is defined through qualities and costumes that distinguish one actor from others. Set design establishes the setting and props to amplify emotion or mood. Lighting affects perception through intensity and direction, emphasizing texture, mood and drawing attention. Color relates to lighting and can indicate distance, mood, or time of day. The assignment is to storyboard a dramatic scene using these elements in Unity 3D.

Miscenscene
Mise-en-scène refers to everything that appears before the camera and its arrangement, including composition, sets, props, actors, costumes, and lighting. It also includes the positioning and movement of actors on set, known as blocking. Mise-en-scène is used by directors to give an impression of characters or situations without dialogue. Key aspects of mise-en-scène include décor, lighting, space, costume, and acting style, all of which help tell the visual story.
Mise en scene alex daykin
Mise-en-scène refers to everything visible within the frame of a film, including actors, lighting, sets, props, costumes, and camerawork, which the director arranges and manipulates to guide audience perception. Settings provide backdrops for scenes that can be either built or found locations. Props are subtly used to link to the setting and manipulate audience expectations. Lighting, including key, fill, and back lights, can represent characters and illuminate the scene or create mystery. Costumes, hair, and makeup indicate a character's time, place, status, and personality at a glance. Facial expressions and body language clearly convey emotions.
Mise en-scene
Mise-en-scene refers to everything visible within a single shot or frame that helps tell the story. This includes color, costumes, props, sets or locations, blocking/performances of actors, and lighting. All of these elements are purposefully arranged by the director to influence mood, express character traits, and provide cultural clues about people and situations through the use of semiotics, the study of signs in communication.
Mise-en-Scene
This document discusses various elements of mise-en-scène that can be analyzed in films and television shows, including décor, lighting, costume, props, location, body language, and semiotic analysis. It provides information on different lighting techniques like high-key and low-key lighting and how they can evoke different emotions. Costuming is discussed as a way to establish characters' roles, personalities, and stereotypes. The document encourages close analysis of sequences to derive meanings from these mise-en-scène elements regarding characterisation.
Mise en scene notes
Mise-en-scene refers to everything visible within a film frame, including color, costumes, props, sets/locations, blocking/performance, and lighting. It is used by directors to organize visual elements and convey meaning. Elements of mise-en-scene like costumes create character identities, while color, lighting, and locations can be symbolic. Together, these elements aim to make the on-screen environment appear authentic through techniques like dressing a set or location scouting.
Se7en
The opening sequence of Se7en uses mise en scene elements like props, positioning, lighting, and camera techniques like shallow depth of field to establish tension, mystery, and a sense of danger. Close ups of sharp objects and a montage of unclear clips leave the audience confused and unsure of the location and characters. Dark lighting in mostly black and white with flashes of red further this unsettling tone and imply a serious, scary film.
Se7en
The document analyzes the opening sequence of the film Se7en through the lens of mise-en-scene elements. It notes that the location is never revealed, creating tension and mystery. The props used, like sharp objects, reflect feelings of insecurity. Shots are presented randomly, leaving the audience confused. Characters and props are positioned closely but create a sense of distance. Lighting uses red to develop photographs, showing recency and danger. Close-ups and shallow focus draw attention to objects and their uses while keeping characters mysterious.
Set design Ashley Sanchez
The set designer is responsible for arranging the theatrical space to provide the environment for the play. Their objectives include creating the mood, establishing the locale and time period, and helping distinguish between realistic and non-realistic theater. For the play "Wintertime", the set will include an open area on the right side representing the outdoors, a living room on the left with two doors, and rustic style furniture. The set aims to recreate a family summer home in Vermont in December 2007 in a style of realism. A broken mirror will serve as a visual metaphor for the themes in the play.

Stop-Motion Animation
Stop-motion animation involves photographing and combining sequential images of an object that has been moved in small increments to create the illusion of movement. The Magic Roundabout from 1965 was one of the earliest examples that used this technique to move characters tiny amounts between each photo to create flowing motion when viewed as a film. Later examples like The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb in 1993 featured improved animation with clearer storylines, voiceovers, and background music. Wallace & Gromit - Curse of the Were-Rabbit from 2005 took 5 years to create due to its highly detailed stop-motion animation combining both clay figures and hand-drawn elements.
Planning Lighting Ideas
Dim lighting throughout the film's opening will evoke a sense of poverty and budget constraints to suggest the characters cannot afford much electricity, outlining their living conditions. The lighting will be realistic and effective alongside the mise-en-scene of a council flat, personifying Social Realism. A nighttime shot of the flat will create suspense and danger, adding reality to both the plot and what the audience experiences.

Techniques i like
The document discusses several cinematic techniques that the author likes, including framing characters through foreground objects to create a hidden or intimate feel, match cuts to seamlessly transition between similar actions, using silhouettes with backlighting to create mystery around characters' identities, and manipulating focus to draw attention to specific characters or reveal hidden details. The author provides examples of how they have practiced these techniques and thinks they could be applied to their own thriller film production to build suspense and intrigue for the audience.
Lighting Effects
The document discusses different lighting techniques used in films. Chiaroscuro lighting in used to convey a tense and powerful atmosphere around a character and create a sense of depth. Low key lighting, as seen in "Sin City", is used to generate dramatic effects through suspending and an eerie atmosphere. While some blood and objects had their natural colors, this lighting choice helped focus attention. In contrast, high key lighting, as in "The Wizard of Oz", makes scenes appear very bright and soft in an unrealistic way, conveying the fantastical nature of the film.
Editing
Whilst editing their opening sequence for a film project, the student and their group added sound effects like police sirens and dialogue to set the scene and create atmosphere. They matched shots perfectly with soundtracks to engage the audience. They also used techniques like blurring shots, crossfading between shots, and manipulating colors and shadows to establish a dark, ominous tone and engage viewers.

VFX-An Overview
Visual effects involve manipulating or creating imagery outside of live-action footage through computer-generated imagery, miniatures, mattes, and other techniques. Visual effects aim to make environments look realistic that would be dangerous, expensive, or impossible to film. Early visual effects techniques included multiple exposures, time-lapse photography, dissolves, and matte paintings. Modern visual effects heavily utilize computer-generated imagery and digital compositing, though practical miniatures and effects are still sometimes used. Visual effects supervisors work closely with directors to design and achieve the desired visual effects.
Mise en-scene in TV Drama
This document discusses various elements of mise-en-scène that are used in film and television to create meaning and evoke emotions. It defines mise-en-scène as the arrangement of everything visible in the frame, including actors, lighting, décor, props, and costumes. It then examines specific mise-en-scène elements like lighting, costume, location, body language, and décor and how they are used symbolically and to characterize figures or set a mood. Students are instructed to analyze how these elements create meaning in scenes from the TV show Broadchurch trailer.
Mise-en-scene
Mise-en-scene refers to everything that appears within the frame of a film, including actors, lighting, décor, props, and costumes. The director arranges all of these elements to construct representations of characters. Mise-en-scene can be split into production design, which includes location, set design, costumes, props, and lighting design including color. When analyzing stills from films and television, mise-en-scene helps reveal aspects of a character's identity through elements of props, costumes, lighting, set design, and location.
Mise en scene booklet
Mise-en-scene refers to everything visible within the frame of a shot, including settings, decor, props, lighting, costumes, makeup, color, and body language. These elements are deliberately chosen by filmmakers to convey meaning and information about characters, themes, and the overall story. Settings can provide context about time, place, and social class, while props and costumes offer clues about characters, genres, and historical periods. Body language, movement, and facial expressions of actors also communicate much about characters without dialogue. Filmmakers utilize mise-en-scene elements symbolically and stylistically to generate intended meanings and responses from viewers.

3D digital matte A matte painting that has been camera
mapped onto a 3D geometrical model in computer space.
The digital matte can then be moved or rotated to
simulate the perspective of a moving camera. See also
camera mapping .
Additive Color Mixing A system used for creating color
on television where red, blue, and green lights are mixed
together to create all other hues.
ADR Automated dialogue replacement (ADR) is a post-
production practice in which actors re-record lines of dia-
logue or add new ones not present at the point of filming.
Computer software enables proper synching of these lines
with the performer’s lip movements as recorded on film.
Aerial Image Printing Method of producing dimensional
effects using matte paintings in an optical printer. An image
(such as a matte painting) is projected to a focal plane in space
(rather than onto a surface) where it can be photographed by
the process camera in the optical printer. That footage can be
combined with live action footage and other optical elements.
Aerial Perspective A visual depth cue in which the effects
of the atmosphere make very distant objects appear bluish
and hazy.
Alpha Channel In a digital image, this channel of informa-
tion specifies a pixel’s degree of transparency. The alpha
channel is often used for generating male and female mattes.
Ambient Sound The background sound characteristic of an
environment or location. For a film such as The Last of the
Mohicans , set in a forest, ambient sounds include the rustle
of branches and the cries of distant birds.
Anamorphic Method of producing a widescreen (2.35:1)
image by squeezing the picture information horizontally and
stretching it vertically. This method is used for both theatri-
cal films and for DVD home video formatted for 16 × 9 (wi-
descreen) monitors or projection systems. Unsqueezing the
picture information during projection or viewing produces
the widescreen image.
Ancillary Market All of the nontheatrical markets from
which a film distributor derives revenue. These include home
video, cable television, and foreign markets.
Angle of View The amount of area recorded by a given
lens. Telephoto lenses have a much smaller angle of view
than wide-angle lenses.
Animation 2D Traditional form of animation in cinema

Mise en scene
Mise en scene is a filmmaking technique that establishes the visual theme or story through elements like settings, costumes, lighting, and character positioning and body language. It aims to tell the story visually and create certain expectations and moods. Mise en scene includes 5 key elements: settings and props, costumes, hair and makeup, facial expressions and body language, and lighting and color. These elements provide instant clues about characters' personalities, statuses, and the society or culture being portrayed in the film.
Miseenscene final
The document discusses the film techniques of mise-en-scene and lighting, which are important visual and technical codes that filmmakers use to convey meaning. It defines mise-en-scene as everything within the frame, including setting, costumes, color palette, characters and their movements. Lighting techniques like three-point lighting, high-key lighting and low-key lighting are also discussed, and how they impact the visual style and mood of a film. Examples are provided of how these techniques are used in specific films to provide information about characters and further the narrative.

The Hero's Journey & the Unknown
The document discusses Joseph Campbell's concept of the "hero's journey" and how it relates to students from non-dominant groups entering STEM fields. It describes the hero's journey as having three stages - (1) the hero receives a call to adventure into an unknown world, (2) the hero crosses the first threshold and undergoes a series of tests with obstacles, and (3) the hero returns to share the knowledge gained. For students from non-dominant groups, entering a STEM classroom or makerspace can feel like the unknown world of the hero's journey, but providing mentors and tools can help reassure students as they embark on their academic adventure.
Vernacular Science & Technology: It's Role in Education
This document discusses vernacular science knowledge and technology, including biomimicry, computational thinking, and culturally situated learning and design. It explores how STEAM education can be used to teach these concepts through design fiction and by merging fictional worlds with creative design. Students would learn about biomimicry by designing new products inspired by nature, computational thinking by formulating problems that computers can solve through algorithms, and culturally situated design by using indigenous artifacts and practices with STEM principles. The document lists various tools, concepts, and practices that could be used in STEAM learning, such as 3D modeling, coding, fabrication, worldbuilding, and design fiction.
Making Liberation: Afrofuturism
Afrofuturism explores liberation through a combination of technology and nature. Octavia Butler's work suggests that technology alone does not ensure survival, but combining it with nature preserves life. True freedom requires a symbiotic relationship between technology, nature, and community. The document discusses using Afrofuturism to introduce children to ideas of the future and having them create projects combining technology and nature to share with the public.
Algorithms, Afrofuturism & The Wiz
This document discusses using algorithms and Afrofuturism themes in relation to the musical "The Wiz". It explores how algorithms could be used to enhance the audience experience before and during the show through interactive displays and animations linked to elements of the story, such as lighting up Dorothy's silver slippers when mentioned or animating signs. The document also references a Lewis Mumford quote about the intermediate role of magic between fantasy and knowledge in driving technological advancement.
Re-appropriating, Remixing & Improvising with STEAM
This document discusses culturally responsive education in makerspaces. It explains that STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) teaching integrates multiple disciplines. Components of equity in makerspaces are access, diversity, and inclusion.

Boston Arts Academy STEAM Lab Model
This document outlines the steps in a STEAM project-based learning plan, including fundamentals, prototyping, and exhibition. It suggests focusing students' attention on making a STEAM project, showing the importance of STEAM skills for artists, helping increase confidence in STEAM skills through workshop requirements, and rewarding students for learning new STEAM skills.
Afrofuturism on Web 3.0
From the West and Central African cosmogram to virtual 3D space and sound-generated graphics, the work of Dr. Nettrice R. Gaskins crosses the boundaries between science fact and science fiction.
Survey of New Media Lecture
The document discusses metaphysics of presence and how being exists within frameworks or states, with definitions of presence and absence relying on these states. It also discusses urban metaphysics as a deconstruction of Western ideas through street art and technology. Additionally, it mentions black futurism or Afrofuturism as a discourse centered on absence and presence, involving constructions or deconstructions of self, as seen in works engaging valuations of images and presentations.
The Electrofunk Mixtape: Illuminus Edition
The Electrofunk Mixtape: Illuminus Edition is a collaboration between the STEAM Lab at Boston Arts Academy, sculptor Brian Browne, and music producer Hank Shocklee to create an interactive 3D art installation.

NATF Presentation: Techno-Vernacular Creativity, Innovation & Learning
This document discusses techno-vernacular creativity (TVC), which refers to cultural art and technology created by underrepresented groups for creative expression. It provides examples of artists like Sanford Biggers who incorporate circles/mandalas from different cultures in their work. The document also describes how mapping, diagramming, and remixing are important aspects of TVC, and how culturally-situated design arts can engage informal science learning through exploration of concepts like rotation and translation.
Biomimicry & 3D Printing
This document provides an overview of biomimicry and 3D printing for a workshop. It defines biomimicry as modeling design and production on biological entities and processes. It describes the key steps to 3D printing as modeling an object, fixing any errors, slicing it into layers, and printing. It also explains that 3D printers use materials like plastic instead of ink to create solid, three-dimensional objects. The workshop will include a live demo and discussion of biomimicry examples as well as the components of 3D printers.
The African Cosmogram Matrix in Contemporary Art and Culture
This document discusses the connections between West African cosmology and Afrofuturist art. It explores how Afrofuturist artists reimagine history and the future of the African diaspora through science, science fiction, and technology with their own worldviews. The Kalunga line under the Atlantic Ocean, representing the threshold between the living and dead, is referenced. Crossroads have complex patterns in West African cultures and are simplified in Afrofuturist art. Works aim to position viewers in a sense of completeness or utopia, referenced as Funkentelechy in P-funk music.
WeAreCity: Black Futurism
This document discusses the history and concepts of Afrofuturism across multiple artistic disciplines such as music, literature, visual art, and film. It provides early examples of Afrofuturism in literature from the early 20th century depicting advanced African societies and black scientists. It also discusses how jazz musician Sun Ra incorporated music, myth, and performance to present a unified vision of space that influenced later generations. The document explores how Afrofuturist artists create new conceptions of race, gender, and culture through technology to envision possible futures for the African diaspora.

Techno-Vernacular Creativity, Innovation & Learning in Underrepresented Ethni...Nettrice Gaskins, Ph.D.
The document summarizes a dissertation that examines techno-vernacular creativity (TVC) in underrepresented ethnic communities and its potential to increase interest and motivation in STEAM fields. Key points:
1) The dissertation includes a literature review on TVC, prior research, and theoretical frameworks related to culturally situated learning and design.
2) A professional workshop at Georgia Tech brought together experts to explore how TVC can engage underrepresented groups in STEAM. Workshops were also conducted with middle school students.
3) Results found that the professional workshop helped bridge disciplines and cultural differences. Student workshops found expression and art were most engaging and increased interest in STEAM topics.
4) The dissertation examinesVision Mapping Workshop
This document provides information about a vision mapping workshop. It defines a vision map as a collage of images and affirmations representing one's dreams and happiness. The document discusses how quilts can convey messages through geometric patterns and how artists use math concepts like rotation in their quilt designs. Examples of historical quilts that tell stories or add symbols are presented, as are artworks that create new languages or remix an artist's previous work. Lukasa boards, which are used to tell personal stories, are also mentioned. The workshop instructions ask participants to make a paper quilt by cutting and arranging shapes, then finish their vision map by adding cutouts and writing about their design.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Virtual Camera Project
- 1. Virtual Camera Project LCC 2730 Constructing the Moving Image Spring 2011 Nettrice R. Gaskins
- 2. Mise-en-scene Mise-en-scène or "placing on stage" is an expression used to describe the design aspects of a theatre or film production, which essentially means "visual theme" or "telling a story"—both in visually artful ways through storyboarding, cinematography and stage design, and through direction.
- 3. Character The combination of qualities or features that distinguishes one actor from another can be very distinct. Helen Parr, aka Elastigirl is a character in the film The Incredibles. In addition to being a superhero she is a dedicated spouse and mother. Costume is another element to consider.
- 4. Set Design An important element of "putting in the scene" is set design—the setting of a scene and the objects (props) there in. Set design can be used to amplify character emotion or the dominant mood of a film, or to establish aspects of the character. Space is another element to consider.
- 5. Lighting The intensity, direction, and quality of lighting have a profound effect on the way an image is perceived. Light (and shade) can emphasize texture, shape, distance, mood, time of day or night, season, glamour; it affects the way colors are rendered, both in terms of hue and depth, and can focus attention on particular elements of the composition.
- 6. Color Related to lighting (value) color can be used to emphasize distance, mood, time of day or night, season, etc. Creating color sketches or scripts before-hand will help when constructing your scene in Unity 3D.
- 7. Open Design Later in this course you will brainstorm a group project related to the general theme, using media and techniques of your choice – i.e. collage, assemblage, drawing & painting, writing, etc., from a variety of sources.
- 8. The Assignment Use the Maya Comic Project as a storyboard to set up a scene that includes your objects, camera movements, sound, and effective mise-en-scene to stage a dramatic scene using the tools available. In The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Hugo is haunted by the story of a train crash that happened many years earlier at the train station in Paris where he lives. This event/scene was recreated in the film Hugo.
